Vellin Farstride

Vellin Farstride is a halfling member of the Harpers who originally hails from the world of Oerth. He has spent many years travelling between the planes, including such places as the Astral Sea, the Abyss, Hades, and Avernus. Eventually he arrived in Faerûn, where he fell in love with the vast wilds of the continent. He is particularly adept at diplomacy and deception, skills learned from years of dealing with fiends. Despite this, he usually has a plain and direct manner of speaking. Vellin is a member of the Harpers and is an expert at acquiring mounts for other members of the organisation.
